Translation Exercises

Part One: Reading Croy Lesson 3 and 4

Last week, you learn some verb basics in Lesson 2 of Croy. Now you are going
to learn some noun basics in Lesson 3 (feminine nouns) and Lesson 4 (masculine
and neuter nouns). And when you have both verbs and nouns to work with, you
will have some much more interesting sentences this week than you did last
week!

First, make sure you understand the new content in Croy by reading through
Croy and then consulting the webpages here which provide supplemental information.

Questions? Do you have any questions that are
not answered in these webpages? If you have any questions at all, post them
at the Discussion Board topic area labeled Week 3: General Questions
about Croy Lessons 3 and 4

Part Two: Practice Sentences for Croy Lesson 3 and 4

When you are done reading through the Lesson 3 and 4 materials, both in Croy
and at this website, you can start work on the Practice and Review Sentences
which are provided in Croy 3.21 and 4.26. Here are some supplemental materials
to help you:

First, there are some Lesson
3 Simple Sentences to do before you
try reading Croy's Practice and Review Sentences in 3.21 and some Lesson
4 Simple Sentences to do before you
try reading Croy's Practice and Review Sentences in 4.26. Make sure
you understand the different types of simple sentences before trying
the Croy sentences.

After you finish working through the Simple Sentences, move on to the Practice
and Review sentences in Croy. Make sure you also look at the Commentary
on Lesson 3 Sentences at the Commentary
on Lesson 4 Sentences provided
at this website. It is up to you if you want to write out an English translation
or not. If you are sure you understand the sentence as you read along,
you do not need to write out a translation. Also, make sure you read the
sentences out loud and repeat them out loud constantly.
Getting the sound of these sentences inside your head is very important!

Questions? Do you have any questions about these
sentences? If you find one of the Practice and Review Sentences to be difficult
or confusing, leave a question at the Discussion Board topic area labeled Week
3: Questions about Practice Sentences in Croy Lessons 3 and 4 .
You might also find it helpful to look at the Discussion Board just to see
which sentences the other students are finding to be difficult.

You can keep on working on the Practice Sentences all week long, but the sooner
you can work your way through the sentences, the easier it will be for you
to do well on the Morphology and Syntax quiz for this week. Questions in the
Morpholoyg and Syntax quiz are based on these Practice Sentences.

Optional LXX and NT Sentences. In addition to the Practice
and Review sentences, Croy provides some sentences from the Septuagint and
from the New Testament. You should not start work on those until after you
have completed the quizzes and other graded activities for the week! These
sentences are very exciting to work with, and there is an extra credit
quiz option based on these sentences.
